(TRUE COPY) MEMORANDUM To, The Hon'ble Chief Minister, In-Charge of Home Affairs, Government of Maharashtra. BOMBAY. From: Shri Kasturbhai Lalbhai, On behalf of: Shri Jain Shwetamber Murtipujak Sangh of India, Bombay 14 th March, 1968. Sub: Shri Antriksha Parasnath Idol & Temple at Sirpur Demand for protection of rights - We, the representatives of the Shwetambari Jain Community in India, have to invite your honour's attention to the following: At Sirpur (Akola District), there is a Jain Temple of Shri Antarikshji Parasnath. The manegment of both the Idol, temple and its property is in the hands of Shwetambaries. The main Idol of this temple is worshipped by both the Shwetambari and Digambari sects of the Jain Community. The differnce between the two being that the Shwetambari Idols are with Waist tie (Kandora) and Waist Band (Langoti), are decorated with Chakshu (eyes) tika and jewellery, the Digambari idols are in a state of complete nudity. In regard to Worship only, the Shwetambaries and Digambaries had come to an understanding in A D 1905 by which a scheme was formulated, whereby the worship of the idol only was to be performed by both sects in turns, according to a regular time table. (19)

Disputes arose in 1908, between the two communities, each community claiming exclusive rights in the temple and idol, and rights of complete management. The case so put forward was litigated at great length and for over twenty three years, scores of witnesses were examined, and over 600 exhibits were produced by Shwe. tamberies alone. The case was filed firstly before the Court of District and Sessions Judge at Akola, on appeal before the Judicial Commissioner of the Central provinces and finally before the Privy Council. Following important points were investigated amongest others : 1) Whether the temple of Shri Antariksha Parasnath and the main idol therein belonged to the Shwetambari or Digambari sect of the Jain Community ? 2) W Whether the Shwetambari community has the right of exclusive management of the temple and properties. ? 3) Whether the main Parasnath idol was a Shwetam bari idol with waist tie and Kachota (Langoti). 4: Whether the Shwetambaries had a right of *laping' (replastering) the idol ? 5) Whether any of the gentlemen, chiselled the idol with some iron instrument ? ( to make it appear a Digambari idol )? The Judicial Commissioner of the Central Provinces by a Judgment on Ist October 1923, said :Abstracts of Judgements in regards to points 1 to 4 " It seems to us that there is little doubt, that the principal idol was a Shwetambari one. There is both oral and documentary evidence going to show that this was the case." (20)

In para 12 " We have already found this the idol is a Shwetambari one. These two facts strongly support the plaintiff's allegations that the temple itself belonged to the Shwetambari Sect We now turn to the evidence oral and documentary which tends to show that this was a fact." In Para 14, " We are not inclined to belive the defence (Digambars) witnesses on the point of ownership of the temple and its management." That the Shwetambaris are entitled to the exclusive management of the temple and image of Shri Antriksha Parasnathji Maharaj and they have the rights to worship the image in accordance with their custom. That the Digambaris have a right of worship the image in accordance with an agreement of 1905, that the Digambari sect is permanently restrained from obstructing the Shwetambari sect in getting the image restored to its original form and plastering the same now and hereafter." But it is a fact that some of the defendants were responsible for the foul deed which, as against the particular defendant is not proved." In the appeal to the Privy Council ( filed by Digambaris ) Their Lordships observed in Judgement : Privy Council Judgment : "The Findings are in favour of Shwetambaris. They had all along been in actual management of the temple and idol. Their title and right of management had been exclusive, and they had been worshipping the image with jewel, ornaments, and painting - the male organ of the deity being covered with the waist-tie and band, for a period which cannot be ascertained but at any rate from 1847-48. That the appellate court has declared and held that the Shwetambaris were on the fact found, entitled to the exclusive management of the temple. (21)

"Their Lordship of the Council, therefore, having taken into consideration the appeal and humble petition, and having heard the counsels on both sides-report that the appeal (of the Digambaries) be dismissed, and the decree of the Court of Judicial commissioner of the Central provinces of the Ist October 1923 affirmed."" Order of His Majesty in Council : "HIS MAJESTY having taken the said report into consideration was pleased by and with the advice of his Privy Council to approve thereof and to order as it is hereby ordered that the same be punctually observed, obeyed and carried into execuiion. Whether the judges of the Court of the Judicial Commissioner of the Central Provinces for the time being and all other persons whom it may concern are to take notice and govern themselves accordingly. it is our deep regret that the dispute did not end here. Under their "right of worship' interference in management has continued all these years. Any structural changes in the temple, compound or any repairs in the property would be challenged physically resulting in Crim.nal and Civil Suits. Following are some of the Judgments in Courts. For your information, substansiating what has been stated in para above. (1) In, CR. A No. 211 of 1933 " The Digambaris have only right of worship, and they have nothing to do with structural changes in temple." (2) Cri Case No. 7 of 1936. "The Shwetambaris are entitled to build a Dharamshala. The Digambaris are not entitled to obstruct the work, by any means, peace. ful or otherwise. I hold that the Digambaris have been forcibly obstructing the work. If the Shwetambaris meet the obstructing as they are entitled to do so, a breach of peace is certain." (22) Jain Educatioh International

Page #36
(3) C. R. Appeal No. 361:- "What the Digambaris have secured by the judgment of the Privy Council, above referred to is only a right to worship at the temple according to the time table of 1905 and no further Any interference by the Digambaris in the management of temple-be that management be necessary alterations and improvements in the temple or its property, or by constructic n of further structures on the temple land-would amount to an unlawful act on the part of the Digambaris.' (4) Case No. 9 of 1940, "Whether the Shwetambaris who have admittedly a right of exclusive management of the temple and image, were entitled to do even acts in exercise of that right, In my opinion they were entitled to do so. I hold accordingly." "My conclusion, then, is that the expression with all its implications does not mean or include a claim to worship with its settings and surroundings." (5) Misc. Judicial Case No. 63 of 1941:- The Shwetambaris filed this suit for ejection of Digambari establishments, under section 47 of C. P. C. The Learned Judge observes that the privy Council decree granted a declaration only in favour of Shwetambaris so far as the right to the exclusive management of the temple and image is concerned - and if there is any modification or clarification made by the Privy Council it was only with respect to the Digambari right of worship. However, he held that the present application made under section 47 C. P. C. was not tenable, and that the remedy lay in a separate suit." (6) Misc. C. R. 28 of 1960 :- " The non-applicants (Shwetambaris ) in this case are not aggressors, and therefore the prosecution case is misconceived." (23) Jain Edulation International

Page #37
(7) C. R. Case No. 15 of 1910, "Evidence in both cases show that the Digambaris have all along been aggressors." (8) It may be noted that even in 1960, on representation by Digambers the main idol was attached by the State of Maharashtra, to stop Shwetambaris from applying lape (replastering). The Shwetambaris approached Hon. Shri Y. B Chavan, the then Chief Minister, who on merits and applying his mind to case revoked the order and allowed Shwetambaris to apply the lape. The letter of the Home Department No. SBI / DIS 1260/ 2732 of 16th June, 1960, confirming the same is attached hereto for your ready reference. (9) C. S. No. 123 A of 1956-Tudgement delivered on 16th January 1965-as regard Pawali Mandir, another ancient temple on the outskirts of the villa ,e. The Learned Judge held that the Pawali temple and its adjoining fields Survey Nos. 198 and 198/1, are the properties of the Antriksha Parasnath Temple and the demand by the Digambari Community for their full possession and management was rejected. (10) Judgement of High Court in Rev. 351/ 64 dated 6th April 1966 : " The Learned Judge has observed that the dispute in suit is between two rival sects of the same religion. That is not a strictly correct statement. It is no longer a matter of dispute between two contending parties. The defendants (Shwetambaris) are doing the things complained of under authority of the decisions of the Civil Court, as also of the Privy Council. Those decisions must stand until they are set aside, in accordance with the law, and till they are set aside, the dispute is between mere challengers or claimants on the one hand, and persons whose rights have been upheld by the decree of the highest tribunal on the other." (24) Jain Eduction International Www.jainelibrary.org

However, disregarding all the judicial decisions and orders in this matter a situation has been created. whereby the religious sentiments of the Shwetambari Jain Community have been offened by the following acts of the Digambaris of far reaching consequences overriding their right and priviledges in the temple and property. (1) Illegal installation of New Digambari idols in the temple. (2) Removal of Chhatra (Umbrella over the deity) and installing a new Digambar Chhatra (3) Encroachment in the temple by occupying more and more space as part of the office. (4) Writing above the idols, "Digambar Jain Idols" and "Digambar Jain Temple" in oil paints- (so the temple and idol should appear to be that of Digambari sect) (5) Tying of ropes inside the temple obstructing worship. (6) Placing Digambari idols in the compound and cccupying open space Obstructing worship of "Padmavati Devi' since 27th December 1966 by physical force. Have taken forcible possession of old Pavii temple, outside town, by locking it and disallowing Shwetambaris to enter, etc. The Digambar Jains to whom the right to worship only was conceded in 1905 by the Shwetambaris as a peaceful settlement of the whole issue, and whose efforts for other rights, have been rejected by High Courts of Law, have committed the above acts illegally, amounting to criminal trespass and encroachments. Our Community in India is deeply agitated and disturbed at such violation of our religious sentiments. and view the present situation with deep concern. Therefore, we the representatives of Shwetambari Tains in India, approach your Honour, to intervene in the interest of natural Justice, to uphold the decisions of the (25) ww.jainelibrary.org

Page #39
Judiciary, to enable us to assert our legal rights of managernent for the removal of the obove manifold acts of injustices, encroachments etc, and that you may kindly take such steps and issue such orders that the Custodians of Law and order give us due Police Protection in the enjoyment of these rights. God bless you, for this act of justice, Enclosed herewith are copies of Judgements cited herein. Yours truly, sd/-kasturbhai Lalbhai Bombay, 13th August, 1959 From: Shri Kasturbhai Lalbhai, on behalf, of Shri Jain Shwetamber Murtipujak Sangh of India, Pankor Naka, Ahemdabad. To, The Hon'ble Chief Minister, In-Charge of Home Affairs, Sachivalaya, Bombay-32. Re:- Shri Antriksha Parashnath Sansthan at Sirpur. Dear Sir, We beg to bring the following for your kind consideration: 1. We had presented a Memorandum in regard to our grievances and our rights, to your Honour on the 14th March, 1968. You had then suggested that the leaders of both, the Shwetambari and Digambari community should meet and find some equitable solution in respect of our differences. (26)

Page #40
2. We thereupon invited the Digambari Jain Community for such talks who deputed Shri Lalchand Hirachand and Shri Kasturbhai Lalbhai represented us. Several meetings took place but the talks broke down on the issue that they Digambaris) were not prepared to accept the Court Judgements, especially the Privy Council judgement and that they desired that the whole issue should be opened de novo. 3. The Digambari case is that they have filed a suit No. 288/60 at Washim Court for the setting aside of the Privy Council Judgement. 4. We maintain that practically all the issues raised and now being raised were enquired into by Courts at various levels and after inspecting voluminous evidence led by both the sides, the Privy Council, finally decided that the Digambari community was only entitled to worship according to an agreed time-table and nothing more. And they were allowed to collect their money and offerings during their time of worship. Their Lordships of the Council held that the main idol and the temple was a Shwetambari one and the right of management of the same was to be exclusively vasted in the Shwetambari Community, and among other rights, the council ordered "that the Digambari Sect be and hereby permanently restrained from obstructing the Shwetambari sect in getting the image restored to its original form adorned with the Kachota, Katisutra and plastering the same now and hereafter." 5. The Digambari community continue to enjoy the right of worship under the judgement of the Privy Council, but when the rights of the Shwetambari community are concerned of the Privy Council stands and we respectfully believe that the state is under an obligation to protect our rights. 6. We request that if necessary, the state should examine the correctness of our stand through their legal advisors. (27)

Page #41
7. We have lost faith in the fairness of the Digambari Community, who, even when the latest negotiations were in progress committed acts of occupation etc. We have lodged more than fifty police complaints regarding continued flouting of the management, of planting of evidence, encroachment on its lands and properties, moving and placing of new idols and interference in Shwetambari rights of worship and management etc. 8. We maintain that there could be no dispute as regards the legal rights of the parties as clearly visualised by the Nagpur High Court in Civil Revision Application No. 361 of 1964. by a Judgment on the 6th April, 1966 their Lordships observed as follow:- "The learned Judge has observed that the dispute in suit is between two rival sects of the same religion. That is not a strictly correct statement. It is no longer a matter of dispute between two contesting parties. The defendants (Shwetambaris) are doing the things complained of under authority of the Civil Court as also of the Privy Council Those decisions must stand until they are set aside in accordance with law and till they are set aside, the dispute is between mere challengers or claimants on the one hand and persons whose rights have been upheld by the highest tribunal, on the other." We, therefore, pray that the judgement holder should be protected and the state should view the Digambari claim in its correct perspective. We are deeply concerned of the bitterness between the two sister communities, and should like to avoid it but when the very principles of our religious rites, usage and our heritage and culture are invovled, we cannot shirk our responsibility. We have not interfered with any rights of the Digambari Community, and expect them to respect ours. It is with this deep sense of responsibility, we invite your Honour to uphold justice. (28)

Finally, we trust that orders will be issued so that protection be given to the Sansthan Management for upholding its legal and established rights. With kindest regards Yours truly. Kasturbhai Lalbhai On behalf of Shri Jain Shwetamber Murtipujak Sangh of India 13-8-1969 No. SBI. DIS. 1262/20199 Home Department (Special), Sachivalaya, Bombay-32. 18th October, 1969. From : The Deputy Secretary to the Government of Maharashtra, Home Department. To, Shri Kasturbhai Lalbhai, On behalf of Shri Jain Shwetamber Murtipujak Sangh of India, Pankor Naka, Ahemdabad. Subject : Disputes between Digambari and Shwetambari Jains relating to the Temple of Shri Antariksha Parshwanath Sansthan at Sirpur, District Akola. Sir, I am directed to refer to your letter, dated the 13th August 1969, on the subject noted above, and to state that Government considers that the dispute between two sects of Jains having been finally settled by the decisions of the Judicial Commissioner Central Provinces, in 1923 and the Privy Council in 1929, and the High Court, Nagpur Bench in its judgement dated the 6th April, 1966 in Civil Revision Application No. 351 of 1964, having held that these decisions would stand until they are set (29) Www.jainelibrary.org

Page #43
aside in accordance with law, the rights accuring to the two sects in accordance with these decisions should be upheld and protection afforded for enforcing the rights and preventing anything being done contrary to these rights. Government is of the view that the rights of the respective sects should be upheld and steps taken to uphold the said rights till the decisions are modified in due course of law. The District Magistrate, Akola, has been asked to take action accordingly. Jain EducationInternational Yours faithfully, sd/ K. N.

Inspection note by the Additional - District Judge - ja i kAkA: htriya "After carefully examining the body on the Parts thus scraped to ascertain the kind of material out of which the idol was made originally, I came to the conclusion that this idol could not have been orignally made of stone, but of some sand-mixed material. For this inquiry, I repeatedly moved my hand and even scraped the surface at those places with my nails and my opinion was confirmed. Thus the necessity of plaster for this idol is obvious.' 27. 3-1938. R. V. Paranjpe, Additional District Judge, Akola | R P. P.

privI kAunsIlanA cUkAdAnI mULa kApI Privy Council Appeal No. 69 of 1927 Honasa Ramasa Lad Dhakad and others... Appellants. Vs Kalyanchand Lalchand Patni Gujrathi and others... Respondents From : The Court of the Judicial Commissioner of the Central Provinces. Judgement of the Lords of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council delivered on the 9th July, 1929. Present at the Hearing, Lord Blanesburgh, Lord Tomlin. Sir Lancelot Sanderson. (Delivered by Lord Blanesburgh.) At Shirpur, in the District of Akola, there has stood for five hundred years end it may be for much longer, the Jain Temple of Antriksha Parshwanath. The Jains are roughly ranged into two main divisions Digambaris, represented in this suit by the appellants, and the Swetambaris, represented by the respondents. One of the essential religious differences between the two is that Digambari idols are worshipped in a state of complete nudity, while the idols of the Swetambaris are revered draped and decorated with jewellery and ornaments. This deep-seated doctrinal or liturgical difference between influential sections of the Jain community lies at the root of the dispute which has ripened into this portentious litigation. In the temple at Shirpur there is an ancient idol, "Shri Antariksha Parasnath Maharaj," believed by the Swetambaris to be self-existent. The deity is held in deep veneration by them, also by the Digambaris It has apparently been a subject of controversy time out of mind whether it is a Swetambari or a Digambari idol, and whether as originally existent it was covered at the waist by a tie or band carved out of the stone or sand of which it is composed as the Swetambaris assert or whether it, being apparently agreed that the private parts are not visible to the worshipper, this resulted not from any tie or band or the physical covering but from the acual posture of the idol itself as is the contention of the Digambaris The Swetambaris had (65)

Page #87
been used from time to time to plaster the idol's body as a result of which that which was alleged by them to be a self-existent waist band had in the Digambari view been produced and the immediate occassion of the suit was that on the 13th February, 1908, the defendants 1 to 7, with other Digambaris acting in the interest of the sect, chiselled, as the plaintiffs alleged, by means of iron instuments, the alleged self-existent tie and waistband from the body of the idol and removed the plaster and erased the lines on its hands and ears, outraging thereby the religious feelings of the Swetambaris. For all this the plaintiffs claimed Rs. 15,003 as damages But the scope of the suit was not limited to that claim - It became the medium for vindioating Swetambari pertensions ranging for beyond its immediate occasion. By their plaint the plaintiffs asserted that the property in and right of management of the relief temple was and always had been exclusively in the Swetambaris. On that footing they claimed substantive relict against the defendants as representing the Digambaris. And the defendants were not slow to take up the challenge so thrown down, for although from time to time objecting to the regularity of the suit during its progress in India, they joined, without regret apparently in this prolonged conflict, which after nearly 23 years of litigation in India, has at length been brought before His Majesty in Council for final adjudication. The Swetambari case as put forward by them can be shortly stated. Both the Temple of Shri Antariksha Parasnath at sirpur and that idol therein belong to their sect of the Jain community. It had been the uninterrupted privilege of the sect from time immemortal to worship the idol with the part showing the male organ covered up by a wais-tie and band and jewels and pastings on the body. The Swetambaris alone had uninterrutedly managed the affairs of the temple and of this idol, the Digambaris having no part or lot therein, until 1905, when, with due consideration, as it is put, for desire of the Digambaris to worship the sacred deity in their own way, some members of the Swetambari sect disinteres-tedly effected arrangement whereby the Digambaris were permitted to worship the idol at specified times without ornaments and under certain rules which (66)

Page #88
safeguarded the religious beliefs and the customs of the Swetambaris. But after two year's co-operation the Swetambari followeres bad become convinced that the continuance of the association with the Digambaris was deterimental to the religious sentiments, rights and management of the Swetambaris, and on the 13th February 1908, matters came to a head, when the idol was mutilated by defendants 1 - 7 in the manner already referred to Since then the defendants had been obstructing the Swetambaris in placing upon the deity its accustomed ornaments and in restoring it to its self-existent form And the plantiffs claimed damages : injunctions restraining the defendants and other Digambari followers from raising any obstacle to the management of the Sansthan by the Swe. tambari or the restoration of the image to its originalform by them. Declarations were asked for, framed so as to obtain a decision from the Court that the Swetambari management of the temple and idol was absolute and uncontrolled; that no worship of the deity except in its self existent condition and covered as required by the religious principles of the Swetambaris should take place, and injunctions were sought to make these declarations effective at the instance of the Swetambari. The answering case of the Digambaris may not inadequately be described as a complete repudiation of the claims of the Swetambaris with the counter assertion, by them-selves, of rights over the temple and the idol as extensive and as absolute as those put forward by the Swetambari. Their case is to be found in the written statement of defendant No. 8, which was adopted as their own by the other defendants. In the course of that statement the charges of the plantiffs with reference to the alleged mutiliation of the idol by defendants are repudiated, and the views of the Digambaris with reference to the original form of the idol are put forward. With reference to these charges it may at once be stated that the plaintiffs' allegations as to the defendants' responsibility were not established at the trial, and their claim for damages, which was resisted by (67)

Page #89
the defendants on technical as well on substantial grounds, has failed and is no longer persisted in. For the rest, the case presented by the written statement referred to was that the temple in question originally and absolutely belonged to the Digambari Jains, the Digambaris at Shirpur doing all the management with the help and advice of other followers at Khamgaon and Karanja. The association between the two sects referred to in the plaint was stated to have been brought about by an invitation from the Digambaris to some respectable gentlemen frora among the Swetambaris to join in a committee of management under an arrangement which Fontinud until 1908, when the Treasurer and Vice asicent of the mmittee, both Swetambaris, with a view withholding the entire wealth of this Digambari temple, nad kept back the accounts which, when called upon, they had agreed to r resent; in consequence of which conduct, as appears to be implied in the written statement, their instance. In confirmation of the assertion that the temple and idol were Digambari, it was pointed out in the statement that the Deity in question was Digambari in its position, having been installed by a Jain Digambari King in a temple of Digambari style and construction and that itself a principal idol, it was surrounded by Digambari idols worshipped only by Digambaris. The Swetambari had never worshipped this deity with the chaksu and tika and ornaments, and they had never been permitted by the Digambari so to do. No conflict could be more complete and eleborate. Each of the two sects asserted an exclusive property in the temple and idol, with a right of management entirely uncontrolled Joint control imposed by the one sect upon the other was a suggestion foreig to the cases of both. It was the common position as pleaded that the period of association, so vaguely refarred to by both constants, in no way impinged upon the absolute and exclusive rights claimed by each of them. The association as put forward on both sides was no more than a temporary arrangement that could at any time be brought to an end by those who by invitation had brought it into being. The vital importance (68)

Page #90
of these identical pretensions will emerge in the sequel. The cases so put forward were litigated at great length and over many years, first in the court of the Additional District Judge of Akola, and on appeal before the learned Judicial Commissioner of the Central Provinces. At the trial, many witnesses were called on both sides and many exhibits produced; 600 of these were put in on the plantiffs' side alone. In the result, on the cases so made, the findings of both courts are concurrent and are expressed in judgements of great eleboration and meticulous care. Broadly, the findings are in favour of the Swetambaris. These had all along been in actual management of the temple and idol: their title and right of management had been exclusive. and they had been worshipping the image with jewels, ornaments and paintings, the male organ of the deity being covered with the waist-tie and band for a period, which could not be definitely ascertained but at any rate from 1847-48. The Digambaris had also been allowed to worship in their own way in the temple; but the witnesses of the Digambaris on the point of the ownership of the temple and its management were not believed. Rek. As the result, however, of the evidence taken, the period of association, gaurdedly dealt with by both disputants, assumed a significance more decisive than either of them had been prepared to acknowledge. It was disclosed that at the commencement of the present century, the management of the temple, although nominally in the hands of the Swetambaris, had been in fact usurped by the servents of the temple known as Polkars, who for many yeary had exercised independent control and had become "perfect masters of the situation" as the learned Trial Tudge expressed it. They set their employers at defiance and to, consolidate their own position, tired to play off the Digambaris against the Swetambaris They also inaltreated and plundered the pilgrims. The two sects united to face a common enemy, and in order to deprive the Polkars of the powers they has usurped, the Digambaris, at the instance of the Swetambaris, agreed to co-operate, with the result that in May 1901, a joint committee of equal numbers of (69)

Page #91
Swetambaris and Digambaris was formed to undertake the management of all affairs, the prime mover tn the arrangement on behalf of the Swetambaris having apparently been Kalyanchand Lalchand one of the present respondents. This committee, acting on behalf of both sects joined in instituting criminal proceedings against the Polkars, who as a result, were reduced to the position of servants both It was clearly the view of the learned Trial Judge, not dissented from an appeal, that but for the aid of the Digambaris then rendered, and but for the monetary assistance then provided to them, the temple and all control over it would have been lost to both sects. This made all the more significant the proceedings at a general meeting of the Jains in 1905, at which, the Joint Committee still being in management, there was framed a scheme whereby the worship of the idol was to be performed by both sects in turns according to a regular time-table, which allocated precisely the same length of time for worship to each sect. The result, as held by both Courts, was that for the further period between the ejectment of the Polkars and the quarrel over the plastering of the idol in 1908. The two sects managed the temple through their committee, and worship was carried on by each sect in accordance with its own ceremonies and observances as prescribed by the time-table propounded in 1905, and in the view of the learned Trial Judge, these arrangement set at rest all disputes as to worship and as to the management of the Sansthan so far as the peculiarities of their worship and devotion went and they practically set a seal upon the recoginsed privileges of each party. Giving effect, therefore, to a plea of estopple set up by the defendants, he held that the plaintiff Swetambaris could not longer deny the right of the Digambaris to the joint management of the temple and to the worship of the idol in their own way as both of these matters were in the year 1905. The learned judge's decree is dated the 27th March, 1918. Naturally no declaration that the Swetambaris are (70)

Page #92
entitled to any exclusive right of management is made, while the claims of the Swetambaris to exclusive privileges of worship are disallowed the parties are to adhere to the time-table of the 1905 and to obey the time regulations and procedure of worship in their own time as settled then. The collections of money and offerings are to be made by the two sects as hitherto from the time of the separation of their gadis and cash. The Swetambaris are to be entitled to worship the image with the ornaments, chaksu, tika and the like according to their forms of worship, but only in their own time, no injunction is to restrain the Digambaris from insisting upon their right to worship the image without ornaments, and in their own way and in their own time according to the time table. Each party is therefore directed strictly to adhere to the time-table and the time limit imposed therein. Finally, an injunction is granted against the Defendants and all other Digmabaris restraining them from interfering with the Swetambaris in the plastering of the idol so as to show the configuration on it of a waistband and waist-tie and certain marks on the ears and patms, but the order directs that "these marks shall not be so bold and prominent so as to be offensive in any way, and they shall be shown with a light touch of plaster and as faintly as possible." Both parties were dissatisfied, and the surviving plaintiff Swetambaris by notice of appeal and the defendant Digambaris by cross objections to the decree, set up again before the court of the Judicial Commissoner, Central provinces their respective cases as originally pleaded. Before that court, however, as stated in its judgment, the Swetambari appellants no longer contested the right of the Digambaris, as declared by the decree of the Trial Judge, to worship in their own way and in their own time, according to the time-table, to which must be added the statement of their Counsel before the Board that they no mark no claim to the collections of money and offerings made by worshippers during the periods of worship assigned tothe Digambaris. The cross-objections of tie Digambaris having (71)

failed to impress the court, the issue there, at the end of the day, resolved itself into the question whether the Subordinate Judge was wrong in refusing to grant to the Swetambaris a declaration of their exclusive right of management. Counsel for the Digambaris final contending only far the retention of the joint management as decreed by the Subordinate Judge. In the result the Appellate Court declared and held that the Swetambaris were, on the facts found, entitled to the exclusive management of the temple, and that the plea of estoppel set up by the written statement had no reference to that position. The conclusions of the Courtare embodied in its decree of the Ist October, 1923 It is from that decree that the present appeal is brought. On full consideration of the whole case their Lordships have reached to the conclusion that to the decree is right. The plea of estoppel contained in the written statement is perfectly general in its terms, and the defendants, when asked, refused to give any particulars of its meaning. In the absence of such particulars, it seems to their Lordships impossibe for the appellants to contend with success that it was thereby intended to set up against the plaintiffs' claim to exclusive management an estoppel which would at once be fatal to the same claim then being substantively put forward by themselves. But the question is not only one of form or of pleading. It is also one of substance The appellant's case forcibly presented to the Board was that the facts found by the learned Trial Judge imported and agreement between the two sects as definite and permanent in the matter of joint management, as the time-table in the matter of worship was now admitted to be. No such agreement, however, is pleaded even in the alternative. No issue with regard to it was directed. No such issue could have been directed as the existence of such an agreement was entirly contrary to the only pleaded case either of the plaintiffs or of the defendants. Moreover the evidence taken was not (72 Jain Educatior International

Page #94
pointed to any such issue, and as it stands, is in all its prolixity on this issue, incomplete. In saying this, their Lordship have specially in mind the absence of Kalyanchand from the witness box-as absence only justifiable by the fact that this matter on which his evidence must have been so direct was not in issue at the trial. Lastly, the concession of the time-table now made by the respondents does not as it seem to their Lordships, carry with it any admission of a right on the part of the Digambaris to participate in the management. No one has, in fact, suggested that the time-table without management is valueless, on the contrary, the evidence shows that this has been the prevailing order since the final rupture between the parties place in 1909. took Their lordship need hardly affirm that they may call the Digambari right to the time-table as now declared, with all its implications, is in no sense a matter of favour. It is a matter of right by the Digambaris will bring them in to conflict with the courts Nor will they forget that by the admission of their learned counsel before the Board, they make no claim to the collections of money and offerings made by worshippers during the Digambari periods of worship. With these matters kept fully in mind by the Swetambaris there seems to their Lordships to be no reason why under this arrangement the relations between the two sects should not in this matter be in the future entirely harmonious. In the result, therefore, the appeal fails and their Lordships will humbly advise His Majesty that it be dismissed with costs. Their Lordships will further humby advise His Majesty that a petition lodged by the appellants for a stay of execution of the decree of the Judicial Commissioner be also dismissed with costs. (73)

DECREE "The court of the Judicial Commissoners on the 1st October 1923 made a decree setting aside the decree of Lower Court and ordering (1) That the Swetambaris are entitled to the exclusive management of the temple and immage of Shri Antariksha Parasnathji Maharaj and that they have right to worship the image in accordance with their custom, (2) That the Digambaris have a right of worshipping the image in accordance with an arrangement made in 1905 but are not to interfere with the Swetambari custom of Worship, (3) That the Digambari sect be permanently restrained from obstructing the Swetambari sect in getting the image restored to its original form and plastering the same now and hereafter." 'That the appellants obtained leave to appeal to your Majestry in council." "THE LORDS OF THE COMMITTEE in obedience to His late Majesty's said order in council have taken the appeal and humble petition into consideration and having heard counsel on behalf of the parties on both sides Their Lordships do this day agree humbly to report to Your Majesty as their opinion that this appeal ought to be dismissed and the decree of the Court of Judicial Commissioners of the Central Provinces dated 1st day of October 1923 affirmed.' "HIS MAJESTY having taken the said report into consideration was pleased by and with the advice of HIS PRIVY COUNCIL to approve thereof and to order as it hereby ordered that the same be punctually observed, obeyed and carried into execution."

Prabhu) Bombay, 18th May 66 People, as I understand, are losing faith in God whether represented as Paraswanath or Krishna or Ram or christ or Mohammad. The mistake, it seems, is not understanding the concept of secularism. Secularism means in simple words "as tolerance towards each and every religion," I am a vaishnav, but have read more about Jain Dharma and getting attracted towards its principle. I wish people develope "faith" which will make their families happy and the whole country happy. This could be done by starting moral and spiritual teachings in our school and colleges the comparative studies of religion in the world. Then alone Bharat will be able to have the same stature as she Bharat ) had thousand years ago. This temple is not only a place for worship, faith but indicates our art of architecture. I am sure the management of this temple will keep up the traditions of character of Bharat. Vairale, M. N. Dy. Minister for Edn., Maharashtra. sd Dy. Edu.

ACTS OF AGGRESSIONS DONE BY THE DIGAMBARIES FROM 1908 TILL DATE. 1. In 1908, they chiseled the idol of Shri Antariksha Parshwanath. This can be seen from the Inspection Note, dated 24th June 1913, made by Addl. District Judge, Akola in para 5 thereof. Similarly, this can be found from another Inspection Note, dated 27-5-1918, made by Addl. Distt. Judge, Akola, vide para 2 of the Inspection Note. 2. In 1909, some Shwetambari Sadhus, and Shwetambari pilgrims undertook pilgrimage from Bombay to Sirpur proper. They walked the entire distance from Bombay to Sirpur within 45 days. When such Sangh wants to undertake pilgrimage, they carry with them the Idol for worship, in the Journey, they worship it in the Journey, and they worship those Idols, along with others in the temple, which is the practice followed by the Shwetambaries. When this Sangh arrived at Sirpur, on or about 21-2-1909, the Digambaries got annoyed and kicked the iron box containing the Idols, carried by the Sangh with them. Thereupon, there took place a riot. Police put up case against the Digambaries, Cril. C. No. 32 of 1909, King Emperor.... Versus.... Maniksa and others U/S 147 I. P. C.

This was Cri. C. No. 31 of 1909, dated 31-5-1909, on the file of S. D. M. Washim. 3. In 1910, Swetambari managers had undertaken repairs to the temple, and Digambaries obstructed them. There was quarrel. Case U/S 107 I. P. C. was put up against Shwetambaries, and they were all discharged by S. D. M. Washim on 13-9-1909. While passing order the Magistrate. held as follows. Evidence in both cases shows that the Digambaries have all along been the aggressors. Shantinath and Chaturbhuj have not apparently been done any thing wrong, and have only doing necessary repairs and arrangement for temple." They are discharged. 4. In 1924, when the plaster was done by the Swetambaries, and when it had not dried up completely, on 3-2-1924, the Digambaries worshipped the same by poring milk, water, and other fluids, over the Idol, and thereby, caused damage to the Idol. Digambaries were proceed U/S 144 Cr. P. C. in the court of Dist. Magistrate, Akola. The Magistrate, however, found that there was no serious damage done to the Idol. Therefore, action was deferred. 5. In 1924, Digambaries had done acts falling U/S 295 I. P. C., by scratching the plaster of the Idol. at certain places. Swetambaries had filed a complaint against them, which was Case No. 12 of 24. The defendants, however, were acquitted. 6. In 1927, the Digambaries raised disputes regarding possession of field S. No, 197, and 198/1, and there was likelihood of breach of peace. Proceedings under Section 145 was put up in the court of S. D. M. Washim in Misc. 15 to 27. This was decided on 17-12-27, and the court held that the Shwetambaries were entitled to the actual possession of the above field, property, and forbid all disturabances of their possession, until evicted therefrom, in due court of law.

the matter to the High Court by order dated 30-4-28. The High Court in revision, Cr. R. No. 125-B of 28, rejected the reference by order dated 6-8-28. 7. In 1928, again, the Digambaries raised quarrels over the possession of paoli temple, and its preciants. There was likelihood of breach of peace and the police put up a chalan under Section 145, in Misc. Cr. C. No. 1 of 28.

which was in Cr. C. No. 20 of 28 Krishnasa.... Vrs.... Yadeo and others, decided on 1-9-28. 10. In 1930, the Shwetambaries had undertaken work of repairs, in the temple, & the Digambaries had obstructed them. Reports were made to the police, on 25-1-30, 18-2-30, 11-4-30. 12-4-30, 17-4-30 and 20-4-30. The S. H. O. Sirpur put up challan under section 107 Cr. P. C. in the court of S. D. M. Washim. in Misc.

In 1934, on or about, 28-1-34, when the Shwetambaries wanted to do some construction work, on the southern side of the temple, and Digambaries obstructed them at their time, and there was marpit The case under sec. 147 was put up against 9 Digambaries, in court of S. D. Washim, King Emperor.... Vrs.... Yadeo and others. The SD M, sentenced the eight accused to pay a fine verying from Rs. 50 to 250., in default of payment of fine, Accused No.1, Yadeo was to undergo S. l. for six months, and others for one month each. Similar case was put up against Shwetambaries, but all of them were acquitted. In para 12 of the judgment, in Cri. C. No 15 of 35, the S. D. M. has stated : "The prosecution has requested that action under Section 106 Cr. P. C. might be taken in this case. The Trying Magistrate agrees with them. As the Shwetambaries have all been acquitted, no question of taking such action arises in there case. As regards the Digambaries, the case for action of that nature is very strong against them. What they have done really, amounts to attempt delibaertely flout the authority of the Highest Tribunal, for the Country. I, therefore, call upon all the accused convicted above, to furnish security for an amount equal to twice the amount of fine inflicted on them, with two sureties, each, for the like amount, for keeping the peace for a period of three years. Security shall be furnished within a week from to-day, and the period of three years shall run from the date on which security is furnished." This order was passed on 30th March 1935.

C. in Cr.No. 7 of 36, in the court of S. D. M. Washim. The Shwetambaries were discharged. The magistrate held that the shwetambaries were entitled to build the Dharamashala, and the Digambaries are not entitled to obstruct the work, by any means, whether peaceful or otherwise. The action of the Shwetambaries was lawful and peaceful. Against this order the Digambaries filed appeal to the Sessions Judge, Akola, Cri. A. No. 361-36, and it was dismissed on 20-2-36. Similar case was put up for the above incident against the Digambaries. It was Cri. C. No. 6 of 36, under Section 107 Cr. P. C.

Re :- Shri Antriksha Parshanath Sansthan at Shirpur Dear Sir, I had submitted to the President of the Panch Committee a report of our findings, on the 25 th October 1969.

VINAYKUMAR PARASHAR M. L. C. President, Akola Municipal Council, Akola. Dated 25th Oct. 1969. My Dear Shri Babasaheb Naik, As per our talk on phone, and otherwise, Shriramappa (Pusad) and myself, two members of the Fiveman Committee, under your Chairmanship, appointed by the two sects of Jain Sampradaya, visited the Jain Temple of Shri Antariksha Parshwanath at Sirpur, Akola, District, on 17-10-69. The Committee of five panchas, viz, yourself (Pusad), myself (Akola), Shri Jethmalji Maheshwari, M. L. C., (Pusad ), Shri Shriramappa (Pusad and Shri Ramrao Zanak, M. L. A., was appointed by the common consent of both the sects of Jain, to find out the causes of strained relations between the two sects, and to suggest steps to remove them, so that good relations between them may developed. the As we know the claims and counter-claims over Antariksha Parshwanath Temple, and main Idol, inside, with mode of worship by the two sects of Jain community are very old for which litigations had been going on. A curtain was laid at last in the year 1929 by the Judgement of the Privy Council, the highest judiciary of the country in preindependence days, I have very minutely gone through the said judgement, and also that of the High Court of Ex C. P. & Berar Province delivered when again, this question of claim and counter claim of the ownership of the temple, and the Idol were made before the said court. Keeping in view the same judgement, yourself, myself and other members of the Panch-Committee had visited Sirpur Temple of Antariksha Parshwanath in the

month of July, 1967, also in Oct 1967, and then again, with Shri Bhausaheb Vartak, Minister for Civil Supply, Maharashtra State, in the month of Feb. 1968. We had seen the inside of temple on all these occasions, and had found that complaint made by the leaders of Shwetambari sect, about the omissions and commissions by the followers of the Digambari sect, inside and outside the temple, against the judgement of the Privy Council had some basis. Various new articles brought inside the temple and well arranged on some spots, were seen. Similarly, inscriptions like "Digambar Sansthan " ( digaMbara saMsthAna ) etc. by paint were found at few places. This time, when we both visited the temple, we found the same omissions and com nissions by followers of Digambari Sect, in much a larger number, (as follows), giving impression that the temple belongs to Digambaries and that there is no sign or atmosphere to show that there is any connections of Shwetambaries with the temple. We found the following omissions and commissions in and outside temple. () Installation of new Digambari Idols, inside the temple, in the first and second cellers, and in the primises of the temple, which according to the privy Council Judgement, were not there Some of them were not there, when we visited last Chhatra' on the main idol is (2) The original replaced. (3) As stated above, practically at all important spots inside & outside the main temple, inscription "Digambari Sansthan" (faia ) "Digambari Vedi (fat) and signs of "Swastik" (af) and 'Om') etc, found painted. (4) The Idol of Padmavati Devi was found removed from its original place: (5) New Articles brought in and arranged at various spots are.

No justice can be done with any sect, unless Digambari enthusiasts agree to bring the original conditions as per Privy Council Judgement, and all litigations are withdrawn. If it is done, then, both may appoint a supervising common committee to see that no one of them arbitrarily does anything to disturb the situation, and disregards the sentiments of others. If there is any dispute regarding interpretation of the judgement of the Privy Council, one is to approach the competent the Privy Council, court for relief. This report, I suggest be sent to both sects for information and necessary action and to Government of Maharashtra, and be requested to improve matters. I think with the submission of this report, work of our Panch-Committee overs. Yours Sincerely, Sd/(VINAYKUMAR PARASHAR) Www.jainelibrary.org
